Yeah, 2 tines and 4 handle is a pretty good fork, I’ll admit. I just worry about the concave shape of the top side of the handle causing the edges to dig into my fingers with long-term use.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 1 week ago:
Those prongs are fine. The handle, though, it’s like having a huge counterweight on the back of the utensil. I can imagine liking it if it’s always been that way or if you have big hands. Otherwise, handle number 5 is the clear improvement - no sharp edges, properly balanced, not shaped like a wedge. Could hold that fork for days.

It is clear to me that the only explanation for your preference is nostalgia.

She should swallow a hydrogen cyanide capsule that only dissolves if triggered by the detection of radioactive decay.
Who knows what will happen to that cat?

Well, now that we know what’s out there, I think we should focus our efforts on putting a big sea monster into the ocean.

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t like the rootkit. I do everything I possibly can on Linux aside from the one game that requires it. That said, since they started using the rootkit, there has been a steep drop-off in bots in the game. As in I don’t see any anymore. So, annoying and a huge security risk? Absolutely. Dubious? Maybe? Depends on what you mean.
- Comment on light pollution 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s what they do in Hawaii currently, with amber LEDs that mimic the tone of the old sodium-vapor lamps.
It’s definitely an improvement. I would love to see both the matrix and the amber spectrum applied at the same time, that’s like peak utopia for me right there.
- Comment on light pollution 4 weeks ago:
Or maybe areas like Hawaii where preventing light pollution is of critical importance? I feel like a lot of mass-produced technologies face their main hurdle at manufacturing and if early adopters fund those initial manufacturing costs, the price can then come down quite a lot. But ultimately, it’s mostly wishful thinking, how I would want the world to be, seeing the issues all around us now.
- Comment on light pollution 4 weeks ago:
I had a thought last night. Some new cars have “matrix” headlights, which will detect oncoming drivers and use an LCD matrix to block out areas that would blind the oncoming driver.
I was looking at the shadow cast on my back door from a streetlight a couple blocks away and thinking it’s a very useful light for people walking on the street. Just not for me standing in my backyard or the birds sleeping in my trees.
I wonder if we could start applying this active matrix technology to streetlights. Each time one is set up, we could program it to illuminate all the walkways but not much else. Just an idea.

That’s the same way they did it on Mythbusters.

Yeah, somehow it looked AI before I clicked into it for the high res version, something about the way the guy’s face was drawn. And when I saw the high res, it was really obvious, because the pupils are askew in a way a true artist would not have chosen. And as you say, the stippling pattern is typical of AI. Weird that our brains seem to be some of the best competitors in the arms race between creating and identifying AI images.

Playing devil’s advocate, I completely disagree. If two people are making competing arguments, only the one being needlessly contrarian deserves an upvote. Using Up/Down votes as a means to side with someone is a good way to build a Boeing 747-200 engine.

No, you’ve misunderstood. She married the Bigfoot and now she’s suing because she was perfectly happy not knowing he was just a bear. They had a destination wedding in London and the divorce lawyer’s bear-wedding annulment fee was 125 pounds.

- Comment on What the fuck happened to YouTube!? 8 months ago:
For sure, that’s what I meant by membership. There’s just so many different creators I watch, I can’t afford to support them all directly. Maybe I’ll make some playlists to play on the TV with ads while I’m out of the house.
- Comment on What the fuck happened to YouTube!? 8 months ago:
I’ve used an adblocker for ages as well, though I do wish content creators on YouTube could get some passive non-membership revenue from me without me having to disable my adblock and look directly into the Ark of the Covenant. I could get Premium, but at that point, I feel like I’ve negotiated with a terrorist.

Social security number is the public key, now just issue everyone a private key. Boom. Fixed.

My mom made me a cardboard Thomas the Tank Engine costume when I was young and still wanted to be a train. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t given up on my dreams.
